Clinical analysis of 78 pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas with surgical treatment.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate clinical factors influencing the postoperative pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSCs) prognosis.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated patients with PSCs treated from October 2012 to October 2017. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were calculated using univariable analysis (log-rank test). Univariable/multivariable Cox regression analysis was also performed.
resultsMixed PSCs were most common (64.10%). Pure PSCs occurred more often with large tumors compared with mixed PSCs. Patients with vs without pleural retraction, respectively, had significantly worse overall survival (OS; 16 vs 23 months) and disease-free survival (DFS; 11 vs 20 months), and patients with airway dissemination had significantly shorter OS (14 vs 21 months) and DFS (11 vs 20 months). Patients with PSC with an adenocarcinoma component had favorable OS. Airway dissemination, pleural retraction, metastatic mediastinal lymph node (LN) number, and pathological tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) stage were risk factors for short OS. Neither adjuvant chemotherapy nor adjuvant radiotherapy provided a survival advantage. Airway dissemination was an independent prognostic factor (odds ratio, 1.87; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-3.36).
conclusionPure PSCs were more likely with large tumors compared with mixed PSCs. Airway dissemination, pleural retraction, and metastatic mediastinal LN number were associated with OS. Airway dissemination was an independent prognostic factor.
